Intraorbital Granular Cell Tumor Ophthalmologic and Radiologic Findings

MR appearance of intraorbital granular cell tumor: a case report.

A 32-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of diplopia of 17 months duration and proptosis of 7 months duration. Neuroophthalmologic examination on admission showed a slight decrease in visual acuity (18/20) as well as mild restriction of supraduction and exophthalmos. There was neither family history of neurofibromatosis nor contributory medical history. Thyroid functions were wi...

Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings of intraorbital granular cell tumor (Abrikossoff's tumor): a case report.

BACKGROUND Granular cell tumors are rare neoplasms which can occur in any part of the body. Granular cell tumors of the orbit account for only 3 % of all granular cell tumor cases. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the orbit have proven useful for diagnosing orbital tumors. However, the rarity of intraorbital granular cell tumors poses a significant diagnostic challenge for ...

Cutaneous granular cell tumor: case report

Background: Granular cell tumor (Abrikossoff’s tumor) is a rare and slow-growing tumor of the soft tissue. Originated from the Schwann cells, it is often a benign tumor, but it can be malignant in 1-3% of the cases. Malignant cases can cause significant morbidity and mortality. It may develop in many anatomic locations, especially in the head and neck region, and also in skin and subcutaneous t...

Prenatal Diagnosis of Granular Cell Tumor

Congenital granular cell tumor (GCT) is a relatively rare intraoral benign tumor, approximately 200 cases of which have been reported in the neonatal period worldwide. The newborn infant may have feeding problems and respiratory difficulties due to airway obstruction. This lesion may be diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography and simple resection is mostly required. We report a case of an adult t...
